Title: Simandhar Education vs FinStreet for US CMA — Honest Reviews on Faculty and Placements?
Hi everyone!
I’m currently pursuing my B.Com and planning to pursue the US CMA. I’m confused between Simandhar Education and FinStreet Education and would really appreciate honest feedback from people who have studied at either institute.
I’ve seen reviews and testimonials from both, but it’s difficult to determine how much of the placement assistance is actually useful in securing a job.
I’d especially like to know the following:
1. Faculty and Teaching Quality
• Which institute has better faculty and explains concepts more clearly?
• Are the teachers good at teaching from the basics, especially for someone from a regular B.Com background?
• How is the doubt-solving support?
• Do the faculty members remain consistent throughout the course?
2. Placement Assistance — My Biggest Concern
• Does either institute genuinely help students get placed after completing the US CMA?
• Is the placement assistance limited to sharing job openings and helping with resumes, or do they actually arrange interviews and connect students with recruiters?
• What kind of companies hire their students, and what salary packages can freshers realistically expect?
• Has anyone here personally secured a job through Simandhar or FinStreet’s placement team? If yes, please share your experience, the company you joined, and whether you were a fresher or had prior experience.
• Do they help students who have cleared the US CMA but have little or no work experience?
3. Overall Experience and Value for Money
• Which institute would you choose if you were starting your US CMA journey again?
• Is the placement assistance good enough to justify the course fees?
• Are there any hidden issues or promises made during admission that aren’t fulfilled after joining?
I’m not looking for promotional comments or recommendations from people who have only attended a demo class. I’d particularly appreciate feedback from current students, alumni, and people who have personally experienced their placement process.
If you know someone who studied at either institute and got placed, please share their experience too. Even a detailed comparison from someone who has interacted with both institutes would be helpful.
Thank you!
